The practical advantages of tiny home living are great: cutting loose from a mortgage payment, becoming more energy-efficient, purging all the useless collections you’ve acquired and cutting down time spent on cleaning and maintenance. But what’s it like—really like—to change your lifestyle and live in a fraction of the surface area you’re used to?

Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or just simply right-sizing away from your current home, we’ve got a few tips to help you get the best price you can when selling your existing manufactured home in the resort. Even if you are almost ready to sell, you can use these tips to boost your home’s value in the days, weeks, or months leading up to your listing.

Snowbirds, minimalists and weekenders alike can experience the comfort of home in our Casita Collection. Spanish for “tiny home,” Casitas are Sky Valley’s most affordable line of manufactured homes. At 400 square feet, the floor plans prioritize simplicity and convenience. The perfect high-value, entry-level purchase, seasonal and temporary residents appreciate the virtually maintenance-free appeal, while environmentally-conscious homeowners and minimalists value the low carbon footprint. Perhaps a Casita is a good investment for you?

Nightly dark skies, loaded with millions of stars. Clean desert air, far from the polluted cities. Flat vistas, distant mountains, beautiful sunrises, all colored by year-round sunshine: these are the  reasons our residents are drawn to the village of Sky Valley. Incorporate Sky Valley’s open skies into your living plan with a manufactured home from our Courtyard Collection.

Is a cozy cottage, far away from noise and pollution and civilization, on your retirement wishlist? You can have all that, along with perfect weather, relaxing mineral hot spring pools, an active, friendly community network, and even a spare guest bedroom, when you move into a Sky Valley Resort home from the Cottage Collection.

Thinking of a move to the Coachella Valley? The Chalet Collection’s three floor plans are named for our own local mountain ranges, with each design supporting your priorities. A Santa Rosa, San Gorgonio or San Jacinto layout will offer living space, entertainment and guest room options designed with your needs in mind.

More and more Americans are embracing minimalist value changes like the tiny home movement. The pattern of working to acquire more and more things which require money and maintenance proves emotionally unsatisfying, and instead we want to escape to an unencumbered, more holistic lifestyle. For many, tiny homes provide the perfect compromise between uncluttered freedom and long-term stability.
